Brief Answer:
Go for certain lab tests, start minoxidil.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

There are many causes of hair loss like age-related due to hormonal changes, anemia, thyroid disorder and stress.

I would recommend you to get your thyroid function tests, hemoglobin and serum ferritin levels checked to find out the cause.

Meanwhile, you can apply minoxidil lotion on the affected areas of the scalp and take hair supplements like tablet biotin.

Hope I have answered your query.
